## Prompt

```text
Turn my presentation from an information update into a decision-oriented presentation.

**Current presentation:** [PASTE slides or outline]
**The decision that actually needs to be made:** [WHAT, or "help me identify it"]
**Who decides:** [NAME/ROLE, and who influences them]
**Deadline for the decision and why:** [DATE and what drives it]
**Options I know about:** [LIST, or "help me frame them"]

Steps:
1. Identify the decision. If my deck contains several, list them and pick the one this meeting should settle.
2. Separate what the decision-maker needs (stakes, options, trade-offs, recommendation) from background they don't.
3. Frame 2-4 genuine options, including "do nothing" or "delay", with the same criteria for each.

Return:
1. The decision question, written as one sentence the decider can answer yes/no or choose from.
2. A new slide structure: decision needed (slide 1), context in one slide, options compared, recommendation and why, risks and mitigations, what happens after the decision. Full-sentence headlines throughout.
3. An options comparison table: | Option | Benefits | Costs | Risks | Time to impact | What we'd need |
4. Which current slides move to the appendix.
5. The exact words to ask for the decision in the meeting.

Use only facts and numbers from my material, and mark gaps as [ADD]. The decision belongs to the decision-maker: present the options fairly, even ones I don't recommend.
